Tara Zahra – Saving the Children? Humanitarianism and Displaced Children in 20th Century Europe

November 1, 2011

Webcast sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and hosted by the UBC History Department Graduate Students Assocation. During the Second World War, an unprecedented number of families were torn apart. As the Nazi empire crumbled, millions roamed the continent in search of their loved ones. The Lost Children tells the story of these families, and of the struggle to determine their fate. We see how the reconstruction of families quickly became synonymous with the survival of European civilization itself. Even as Allied officials and humanitarian organizations proclaimed a new era of individualist and internationalist values, Tara Zahra demonstrates that they defined the “best interests” of children in nationalist terms. Sovereign nations and families were seen as the key to the psychological rehabilitation of traumatized individuals and the peace and stability of Europe. Based on original research in German, French, Czech, Polish, and American archives, Zahra’s The Lost Children is a heartbreaking and mesmerizing story. It brings together the histories of eastern and western Europe, and traces the efforts of everyone—from Jewish Holocaust survivors to German refugees, from Communist officials to American social workers—to rebuild the lives of displaced children. It reveals that many seemingly timeless ideals of the family were actually conceived in the concentration camps, orphanages, and refugee camps of the Second World War, and shows how the process of reconstruction shaped Cold War ideologies and ideas about childhood and national identity. This riveting tale of families destroyed by war reverberates in the lost children of today’s wars and in the compelling issues of international adoption, human rights and humanitarianism, and refugee policies.

Paul Hackett – Disease and the Nature of Canada

October 31, 2011

Hosted by Green College. Reflecting the harsh climate, thin soils and generally forbidding character of the vast northern territory that is Canada, it has often been said that the history of this country is inescapably environmental. This lecture series engages the great drama of human interaction with this challenging realm, reflecting on the transformation of the northern half of the continent through time as a foundation for sensible engagement with the environmental challenges facing Canadian society in the twenty-first century.Each lecture will address one of three central themes — human activities and Canadian nature; nature’s influence on the nature of Canada; and ideas and nature in Canada — and reflect upon how the subject of the lecture has affected/changed “the nature of Canada”. Dr. Hackett is interested in the historical and geographical patterns of the health of western Canada’s First Nations. His graduate research examined the past diffusion of directly-transmitted, acute infectious diseases, leading to the publication in 2002 of his book, A Very Remarkable Sickness. His CIHR-funded postdoctoral research focussed on the changing public health of the Island Lake First Nations of northern Manitoba during the twentieth century. His current CIHR-supported research investigates the history of tuberculosis among the western First Nations. In keeping with his focus on the impact of cultural change on community health, an upcoming project will examine the factors that helped set the stage for the current epidemic of Type 2 diabetes among First Nations in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
